...July 4 at 5:50 a.m.-the exact time may be important-Mayor J. Spencer Houk of Bay Village, a suburb of Cleveland, was awakened by a phone call from his friend, Dr. Samuel Sheppard: "For God's sake, Spence, get over here quick. I think they've killed Marilyn." In seven minutes Houk reached Sheppard's house. The young doctor was shaken and bloody. His wife, Marilyn, 31, four months pregnant, was dead. Last week Dr. Sheppard was indicted for the murder.

Appearing near by in a summer theater production of You Can't Take It With You, Coburn lamented that he cannot even keep it while he is alive. "I have paid $1,000,000 in federal...
...narrow Saunders Street, in the shoddy suburb called Caraleigh at the southern fringe of Raleigh, N.C., stands the Windmill. Its dragon-green neon arms whirl day and night, its sexy carhops skip out in black slacks to take orders on the big, asphalt parking space, its gigantic jukebox, hitched up to outdoor amplifiers, drenches the area with blare: Pin Ball Boogie, maybe, or Jo Stafford's plangent yearning for someone to Make Love to Me -and always plenty of hillbilly...
